Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prokaryotic cells are characterized by the absence of a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. They have a single, circular chromosome of DNA which is not enclosed in a membrane-bound nucleus. They also lack other membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, Golgi apparatus, and endoplasmic reticulum. Rather than having a complex internal structure, prokaryotic cells have a relatively simple structure consisting of a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes.
